It doesn't look exactly like what Brownie Mc Ghee palayed on the Pete Seger show (with
Terry) but it's a nice straight forward arrangement with a good shot of the dude's left
Personally I rather do a thumb wrap than barre the F#.

Sure as the sun keeps shining in
skies up above
I'm gonna keep on walkiing the highway
til I find me somebody to love
I woke up this morning
put on my highway shoes
didn't take me to long til I
had those highway blues
I got out on the highway
That old Greyhound bus had gone
started thining bout that girl and
sure been walking long
Been round the Golden Gates
California to the rocky shores of Main
Been on the highway so long that "The
Highway's" my middle name
I'll eat my breakfast right here in New York City
Could get my dinner in New Orleans
I'm the highway walkingest man that the world have ever seen
So Long Peoples
I'll soon say "Good bye"
I'm gonna roam this highway
Til the day I die
(This verse was not sung but here it is anyway)
When the moon peek over the mountain
Honey, i'll be on my way
I'm gonna roam this highway
Til my dying day
